       Impact on patients, public and/or population experience by Crisi
       s response team

       What is the impact on patients, people who use services, carers,
       public and/or population experience by having Crisis response
       falls team in place?
       One significant impact of a fall is a fear of falling again. The
       identification of risk factors, advice and support given and the
       knowledge that specialist help is available, all help to reduce
       this fear and improve quality of life.
       An evaluation by the University of Northampton (Campbell 2013)
       found that patient feedback was positive. Key points given by
       patients included: building confidence, helping to maintain
       independent living and to stay at home, providing appropriate
       support and advice, and access to on-going care. The social
       support offered by the service was seen as a particular benefit
       to patients.
